BayLISA meets this Thursday, May 16

Tue May 14 13:01:34 PDT 2002

I know, I know, I'm a bit late saying so, and to make it more frustrating,
the Third Thursday is closer to the middle of the month this time than most
months.

But day after tomorrow - May 16 - is the Third Thursday and we very much hope 
that we'll see you there.

        Topic    - Massively Scalable Transport Technology

        Speaker  - Dr. Amin Shokrollahi
                   Chief Scientist
                   Digital Fountain

		A bio for Dr. Shokrollahi is posted on the website.

        When     - 7:30 pm until oh, 9:30 or so... 
                   ...expect to get out around 10.

SPECIAL THINGS...............................................................

I'd like to note that our meetings are free to the public.  You are not
required to be a BayLISA member to attend our Third Thursday meetings.

However, if you like what you see, you are encouraged to join, to help fund
bringing good speakers into town, and to cover general expenses such as the 
snacks and sodas.  Members may borrow from our videotape library, even if 
they cannot make it to meetings.  We also have extra benefits for Corporate
Members.

Membership drive: If you bring someone else to BayLISA and they join as a 
member, then you get 20 dollars credit towards either BayLISA goodies (we
have t-shirts and pint glasses) or towards your own membership or renewal.
You can redeem your $20 credit later, so you can gain from this even if your
own renewal is several months away.

BayLISA pens we have in great multitudes.  You can have a big handful of 
them for free :)

GETTIMG THERE................................................................
            - Incyte Genomics HQ - 3160 Porter Drive - Palo Alto -

Porter Drive is between Foothill Expressway and El Camino, along Page Mill Rd.
Travelling:
   south (From Foothill/280) -- turn right
   north (from El Camino)    -- turn left

It's the third driveway on the right: 
   1. Wall Street Journal 
   2. right next to 3 
   3. silver monolith with Lockheed Martin and Incyte Genomics logos on it 
      - shiny enough that they're both hard to see.  

Incyte is the building in the back.  We'll see you there if you can make it :)

A bunch of us like to go out afterwards to continue our conversations at a 
local late-night restaurant.
